The practice of Drip Protection is an evolution in Brazilian crops

Drip Protection, which in free translation means “Protective Drop”, is the evolution of ancient chemigation practices, which consisted of the application of chemicals through irrigation systems. Mostly used in drip irrigation systems.

We classify it as an evolution because, currently, this action is no longer restricted to chemical products. Now, with the search for increasingly sustainable production, we have the possibility of using products of biological and organic origin through the mechanism.

The search for and appearance of organic products on the markets is increasing, such as specific humic and fulvic acids to be applied via irrigation systems. Following this trend, we also have the increasing development of biological products, such as the application of groups of bacteria and fungi both to improve soil biota and improve crop response, and to combat certain species of nematodes.

Drip Protection has numerous advantages over conventional spraying techniques, such as:

Companies in the various sectors of chemical, biological and organic products have already noticed the evolution of drip irrigation systems. Due to this fact, product options that help combat pests, diseases and improve soil characteristics are growing more and more. The practice of Drip Protection is expanding around the world, as it provides everything producers seek: security and savings.
